A lift is moving downwards with an acceleration equal to acceleration due to gravity. $A$ body of mass $M$ kept on the floor of the lift is pulled horizontally. If the coefficient of friction is $\mu $, if the lift is moving upwards with a uniform velocity, then the frictional resistance offered by the body is

A pen of mass $m$ is lying on a piece of paper of mass $M$ placed on a rough table. If the coefficients of friction between the pen and paper and the paper and the table are $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$, respectively. Then, the minimum horizontal force with which the paper has to be pulled for the pen to start slipping is given by
